Where to start on Dribbble? There’s so much to go over I’m afraid I can’t do it service really. So i’m just going to point out my favorite parts of the design.

My absolute favorite part of the design is that it’s deceptively simple. There’s no typekit or Cufon here, it’s all straight up use of Helvetica. The main page is packed with stuff too but it feels open and airy and not at all overwhelming.

The detail worked into the website is also deceptive. There’s a ton of it but it’s not just thrown in your face. There are little nuggets of greatness from the animation of the dribbble basket ball when you upload an image to the way the tags are displayed like a graph.

There’s so much to take in here design wise, and Dan Cederholm is truly a master at work with Dribbble.com.
